The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2010
Interview
I submitted my resume on their website and heard back from HR about 2 weeks later. There were two phone interviews and a 2 hour onsite interview. All communication following their initial contact with me was very prompt, and phone interviews were all on time. Everyone I interacted with was very helpful and pleasant, and as I was coming from Google we had a lot in common. I think having Google on my resume was what helped me get a response, as I didn't have much relevant experience (I'm a recent college grad).
Smooth & easy. About 4 rounds or so & it took about a month, which is better than some others I’ve had to deal with. Also great interviewers, the questions actually kept you engaged & weren’t difficult interview questions.
Did not carry forward after the interview, went through 3rd third-party recruiter, and did a SQL exam. Straightforward. Felt like a pool-type of interview. Not much to say besides that

The interview process was structured and consisted of several stages, including an initial phone screen, a technical assessment to test my financial skills, and a final interview with the hiring manager, focusing on my analytical and strategic abilities.
